Hi chicks, This is day 16 for me. I did overeat alot today, but it wasn't a binge. I was actually really hungry today and I was trying to get full. I was totally in control and I don't have my trigger foods in the house. I'm gonna gain weight big time, I know it.
shelflife - tell your body to 'shut up' you can do this... you can get through day 1 and then 2 and so on... the urges do get a little easier with time promise!!!!
61 days rocks!!!! it is a huge accomplishment! 2 full months!!! way to go!!!!
annndd a nsv and a little reassurance that my plan for losing weight is working right now....
i went to get ice cream with a friend and ate about half of it and was not hungry, realized it was just okay and that it didnt matter if i had paid for it or not..i didn't have to finish it. so i didn't
it felt good to be in control, especially since a week ago i wouldve eaten the whole thing (even it was going to make me sick) and probably wouldve wanted more.
had to share. thanks ladies and hope you all have had fantastic days!
Today marks the end of day 6! Yesterday I unfortunately overate and didn't do nearly as well as I had hoped. I avoided a binge, so it could have been worse, but I felt pretty bloated and icky. However, today was a REALLY strong day -- real tough workout and my eating was absolutely on the money. I'm still trying to learn consistency with eating well.
dusqerb--You are right, I have to be sure that I'm not setting myself up to fail. But I do know that for the past few sundays, I have been extra aware that Sundays are hard for me, and I've gotten through them successfully. It's on the Sundays that I forget that I binge. So for me, the awarness of the challenge is really important! Otherwise, I get caught off guard. By being aware, I can plan a day that helps supress the urge.
Day 29! I have a plan for today (and by plan, I mean I have my day planned out activity wise, as well as food wise--it's often the boredom or listlessness that gets to me!)
good morning girls! hoping for another binge free day for us out to lunch for my dads bday this afternoon and of course he picks the amazing chinese buffet.....hoping i remember im the one in control! for some reason im not too worried about it! ill let you guys know how it goes later tonight.
It's great that you're not stressing Chels (way cute new pic, btw!)...half the time, I get so stressed out just thinking about controlling my binge-eating at a restaurant that I completely blow it and binge before-hand just so I can stop stressing about a potential binge when I'm out to eat! (How messed up is that?!) Anyway, I know you'll make great choices!
I'm on Day 18! I can't believe it! I had the munchies major yesterday and had some off-plan munching moments, but I was able to stop and I wrote down everything I ate, so I held myself accountable. And even though that urge to binge is still present and I feel like I could slip at any time, each day that I stay binge-free I feel a little better. Not a whole lot, but a little...and I'll take what I can get!
Have a great Sunday everyone! (paris...I'll be rooting for you! you can make it through today!)
And to all you Day 6er's and 7er's (there seems to be a lot!) just hold strong, you're at a week binge-free!! That's amazing!!
You guys are awesome; thanks for the support. I'm more of a compulsive overeater than a binger. I'm talking eating an extra lunch and/or dinner along with my regular meals and snacks with full-blown binges every couple of weeks. Generally speaking, my eating is just plain out of control. I got through day one with no binges or extra meals...
